Is there a way to get it working on my phone? #7

For example, running the newly created web-page on the host PC and allowing my iPad to connect to it. or some other method. because this is the only application that does the things I need with CBZ files (the Infinite scroll with Collapse spacing)

Unfortunately this is not possible at the time. Currently the app does not run any kind of background server process; rather it generates all the static web assets when opened and "serves" them to the browser via a file:// url directly from the local filesystem. Which means they are only available on the local machine.

I've been mulling over converting the app over to using a background server, in order to get around a number of limitations with file:// urls that block implementation of certain features, such as requested in #5, and also what you've requested. However this would require a significant re-architecting of the app so I can't promise it'll be here anytime soon. But it is certainly on the long-term roadmap.

Well, its good to hare that it's latest on the long-term roadmap, that app itself in its current state is still really good for a tablet running windows or a regular PC. I will definitely still be using this until then.

Unfortunately I've decided to drop any plans for this feature because after further research I believe the necessary changes are not compatible with the original goal of being a lightweight offline reader. For anyone who might be looking for this functionality, I would recommend something like Mango instead.
